Planning to make these for sale. What do you guys think?
 

I made some washable pee pads for my furbabies to try out. Since I now have 3 furbabies they use plenty disposable pads! I found some cute print quilt fabric and vinyl fabric and made 2 pads to see if they would use them !
Well I cut a small piece of their disposable pad that had pee on it and placed it in the middle of the washable pad I made. The first time Cookie went right on the tiny piece of disposable pad ugh! lol Well he did what we trained him to do. Then I smeared some of his pee on the washable pad and he's been using it with no problems! I like that you can't see the stains! I felt a bit embaressed when guests would walk through my house and see pads in every room with ugly yellow stains ,now it just looks like a nice rug or something lol. Well I will wash these a few times to make sure they are good and find more affordable fabric prints and sell a few! I have not thought of a price because I need to find affordable fabric first lol. I plan on making 2 sizes (small for hallways,crates and Large for rooms and bigger yorkies.The one I made is around 20"X30"
Here is the pad I made ...

that is cute, and a good idea :)

great items ... how much would they sell for?

That's a great idea. Depending on price, I would probably buy 1 and see if Sukoshi would take to it. She's good with her pads, so hopefully we could switch her to your unscented one without a problem.

That's a very clever and economical idea!!

Cute print:)

Good idea! :thumbup:

I think it's a really cute idea! My dogs get easily confused though and will sometimes pee on blankies in their pen, ect.. so I think they would be even more confused.. my pups are silly :). But it's a very original and smart idea!

i woul def try
 

I would love to give these a try .. my dog already like to pee on the bathroom rug and his pee pads .. so i think he'd do great on these ... please let me know when and how much they are :)

Cute idea and VERY CLEVER!!!!:thumbup:

Please let us know how much will you ask for them. I will be interested as well. Great ideea

Very neat idea......be sure to let us know a price :)

Great idea! I'm interested as well:)

count me in!

What kind of vinyl are you using? Will it hold up after repeated washings and dryings and not crack? Just curious. I like the idea of not showing the puddles.

Little Bit, I am going to buy the vinyl that you can reupholster furniture and pillows. Most people call it "Pleather" I'm first going to wash and dry these a few times to see how the vinyl reacts to the heat.
I have not set a price yet because I don't know the price of the quilted fabric and vinyl. I bought mine at $9 a yard for quilt and $6 vinyl.Plus the folding trim I use on the edges were $3 so it comes out to be $18 per yard. That's too expensive! lol I am going to try and check it out today and let you guys know! :)

Great idea I would love something that dosen't show stains:rolleyes: Don't know if Emma would switch to something else though she just is learning what the potty pad is but then again it might be easier to chager her over sooner than later.

These look great! Please post when you get all the details worked out!
WAY TO GO!!!

Ok I went out in search for the washable vinyl sold specifically for urine!
I found it and each side has a soft flannel feel to it plus I sew the quilt ontop,
I could use just the flannel/vinyl fabric but the ugly yellow stains will show!
I used a coupon and got more of the jungle print fabric and another one that I call Rainbow squares lol.I opted out of using the trim because it just added too much cost. I have a serger machine that cuts and stitches/seals the edges to any fabric. I made 2 sizes. Let me know if anyhere is interested. One pad will cost $3Shipping and each additional pad will be $1 extra.

Medium Sz ,I would call it: 18" X 22" $10 ea Or (2for $18.00)
Large Sz : 22" X 36" $14 Or (2 for $22.00)
If you want one of each size I will discount $1 off of each.
I took more pictures so you can get an idea of the size difference.
The smaller size is perfect for putting two of them in a large room,hallways,Strollers ,Crates and for Car rides! Send me a PM if interested. I accept Pay Pal only or can be called at home and you can pay with a debit/credit card. I own a Merchant Card Machine.

This is what I have available for now:
6 Medium of the Jungle Print 18X22
2 Large of the Jungle Print 22X36

13 Medium Rainbow Squares 18X22
1 Large rainbow Squares 22X36

I already switched mine and put them in every room that they go to.
Machine washable and low tumble dry or you can hang dry
The best way to make the transition was to rub some of the pee onto the washable pad. It took my 3 dogs less than 24 hrs to start peeing on them 100% !
I'm soooooooo excited about this and can't think why I didnt try this sooner! Goodbye disposable pads! When I calculated my savings for the year it comes to $134-$202. I usually bought pee pads 2-3 times a month because of my 3 furbabies. I know I sound like a saleslady lol But I never thought about calculating what I spent per year on pee pads! :)

I'll take 2 mediums (1 of each print) and 2 large (1 of each print). PM me with your PayPal addy and my total. I have to go to a meeting right now but will send the money as soon as I can. Thanks!

PM sent for 2 mediums jungle prints :)

And I PMed you asking for the last 3 medium jungle prints. Thanks!

Ok, I PMed Hokule'a, Yorkie~Mommy and Sukoshi's Mom with your totals.
All the Medium Jungle Prints are sold out!

I have 1 Large Jungle Print left .
I have several Rainbow Print left in Medium. I will get out there and find some more prints ASAP.

That jungle print is sooooooo cute! I'm just hoping it doesn't confuse Sukoshi, so that she considers it just a blanket/rug, and then she thinks if she can go on the jungle blanket/rug, she can go on ANY blanket or rug :eek: !!!!!!!!!! I figured the print was so cute though, I can always use it as a place for the animals to play/lay on if nothing else...but let's hope it works for its intended purpose without any confusion! If I put it right where her other pads are currently, we should be good to go. Dang! I just bought a new package of 50 pee pads too :( !

Let me know when you get stocked back up with large sizes. :thumbup:

If worse comes to worse you can always use it for Car rides or her Crate or stroller. If she has to go pee and she\'s standing on it ,she will just pee on it.
They will get used the scent and know that it\'s a wee wee pad. Angel my 4 month old was walking around the medium one today very curiously lol. He sniffed it a few times and peed on it ! He peed on the large one I made. I have Medium and Large in several rooms in the house and Hallway.

Genie

Just wanted to post that ALL jungle print sizes are sold out! I have several Medium Rainbow Prints available.

some helpful hints
 

I had thought of making some pads with a print to more match grass, but mine will not use a pad. A suggestion the fabric that you use to line drapes with, that is sold by the yard is waterproof and very washable. I also wondered if you could notcut up and use those plastic table cloths that are sold everywhere cheap for the underside of you pad.

That plastic for tablecloths will not work to make pads. Trust me I thought of buying some because it\'s cheaper! But if you wash that a few times that sort of plastic will crack.

Found Jungle Print and a New one too!
 

Hey , I\'m back and I found some more of the Jungle print!!!! I drove to 3 fabric places and I was flipping out because everyone barely has any quilted fabrics because of the season or whatever...
I found 5 yards and I snatched it up I also found another really cute print with zoo baby animals on it. My camera\'s batteries died so I cant take a pic of the new print at the moment.

To Everyone that ordered, your packages have been shipped.The only thing that I have to change unfortunately is shipping because I undercharged. The pads weigh more than I thought! lol
Now each Large pad shipping will be $3
Each Medium pad shipping will be $2.50
I tried sending First Class mail but if it weighed more than 1 lb it automatically counts as Priority. So everyone should be getting their packages by this Saturday or Tuesday at the latest for those that live in CA


Any orders made will be shipped out this tuesday. I will be extremely busy this Fri-Sun with kids having School parties and a big BBQ that I will have at my house :eek:

Anyone that wants to order ,please send me a PM and I will have your order ready and shipped by Tuesday.

Thanks!
